Couple years back decided to go with an iPhone instead of an android for my upgrade. Quickly found out Android is the superior OS in almost every way - and that Apple really does just rely on being a status symbol and its brand appeal.

It’s the most stripped down restrictive phone I’ve ever used, It looks very slick all over, but that’s about the best I can say about it.

Will never get the appeal these things have, and people should be smarter than this bullshit

    You don't need to trust Google, you can buy a Pixel and completely degoogle it by installing CalyxOS (more user friendly) or GrapheneOS

      I spend enough of my week troubleshooting other people's obscure Linux issues, i don't even have the energy to deal with unfucking the peripherals on my desktop after work, expanding those issues to my phone sounds like the most stressful kind of hell tbh. I'm not emotionally stable enough to use a niche FOSS mobile os right now

        I understand and just to be clear, those two OSes are just degoogled versions of Android

        I'm actually running a semi broken Linux installation myself, broke it when tinkering, and I don't have the energy to reinstall so I kinda get it :)

        Hope things get better for you soon comrade!
